A.J. Green is obviously no longer a top 10 receiver. 1 mistake in a preseason game confirms this.
Andy Dalton sucks. 1 bad INT and a couple other poor decisions in a preseason game brings the confirmation level to 100%.
Offensive Line has proven to not be very good. PFF has lied about their ability over a 4 year span because of 1 preseason game.
Guenther runs a vanilla defense. Again, meaningless games have proven this to be true. We've never seen a team run vanilla in the preseason, right?
Gio sucks now. In a game where even Hill couldn't hit a hole, I'm sure Gio's statsheet tells the entire story!
It's easy to sum it up. We're just talkin' about practice. Listen, we talking 'bout preseason. Not the regular season, not the regular season, we talkin' about preseason. Not a regular season game, not the regular season game that they go out there and die for, we talkin' about preseason, man. How silly is this when we're talkin' about preseason???
I agree, but the "Chicken Little Squad" just loves to over react.
TB wanted to make a good showing n front of their fans, and they actually game planned and blitzed to show off. When one tries to win in the pre-season it says something about the quality of the team and expectations. Now no one enjoys seeing their team perform poorly, but it's pre-season and meaningless. The Bengals record is currently 0-0 and will remain so until week 1.
With that said, it doesn't help us evaluate young layers when the opposing team is game planning to win. Reminds me of the NO game in 2008 when Palmer got his nose bloodied.
